ADDICTION ASSESSMENT AND COUNSELING

for those who are engaged in addictive behaviors.

MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING

for children, adolescents, and adults.

Individual counseling is defined as nondirective method individual psychotherapy, originated by Carl Rogers, in which the therapist's role is to listen to and then reflect or restate without judgment or interpretation the words of the client. The goal of the therapy is personal growth achieved by the client's increased awareness and understanding of his or her attitudes, feelings, and behavior.

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY COUNSELING

to help couples and families having difficulty making transitions or communicating.

Marriage counseling, also called couples therapy, is a type of psychotherapy. Marriage counseling helps couples — married or not — recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. Through marriage counseling, you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding your relationship or, in some cases, going your separate ways.

Marriage counseling is usually provided by clinical social workers or licensed therapists known as marriage and family therapists. These therapists have graduate or postgraduate degrees — and many choose to become credentialed by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).

Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves all the members of a nuclear or extended family. It may be conducted by a pair or team of therapists. In many cases the team consists of a man and a woman in order to treat gender-related issues or serve as role models for family members. Although some forms of family therapy are based on behavioral or psychodynamic principles, the most widespread form is based on family systems theory. This approach regards the family, as a whole, as the unit of treatment, and emphasizes such factors as relationships and communication patterns rather than traits or symptoms in individual members.

GROUP COUNSELING

for teenagers, parents, addicted adolescents and adults; men and women surviving abuse.

Group therapy encompasses many different kinds of groups with varying theoretical orientations that exist for varying purposes. All therapy groups exist to help individuals grow emotionally and solve personal problems. All utilize the power of the group, as well as the therapist who leads it, in this process.

Unlike the simple two-person relationship between patient and therapist in individual therapy, group therapy offers multiple relationships to assist the individual in growth and problem solving.

CHILD COUNSELING AND PLAY THERAPY

for children with emotional or behavioral problems.

A form of psychotherapy in which a child plays in a protected and structured environment with games and toys provided by a therapist, who observes the behavior, affect, and conversation of the child to gain insight into thoughts, feelings, and fantasies. As conflicts are discovered, the therapist often helps the child understand and work through them.

RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING

for children, adolescents, and adults.

A form of counseling the parties of a human relationship in an effort to recognize and to better manage or reconcile troublesome differences and repeating patterns of stress upon the relationship. The relationship involved may be between members of a family, couple, employees or employers in a workplace, or between a professional and a client.
